Now, as for those "Confidentiality notice"s you see on large company email systems, where the lowly little luser has no control over what his moronic email admin has automatically tagged to the bottom of the email: You DO realize that there is absolutely zero case law that holds these "notices" to be enforceable, right? As a common courtesy, people *may* CHOOSE to abide, but they don't HAVE to. And when you send something to a public list like this, you have completely wiped away even the common courtesy argument. I would suggest that you ask your legal department to advise your email admins to stop making your companies look stupid in public.
Actually, most such amatuerish "disclaimers" have a much worse effect than you suggest. There is some case law that suggests such blanket and clearly inappropriately general disclaimers or claims for special privileged rights _negate_, or at least substantially weaken, all such claims the company makes as the company clearly has no idea which of its, or its employees', actions or which of its products do or do not contain "protected" material.
